Use of multiple sensors to determine whether motion of an object is occurring in an area is described. In one aspect, an infrared (IR) sensor can be supplemented with a radar sensor to determine whether the determined motion of an object is not a false positive.

A method includes detecting, with a passive infrared sensor (PIR), a level of infrared radiation in a field of view (FOV) of the PIR, generating a signal based on detected levels over a period of time, the signal having values that exhibit a change in the detected levels, extracting a local feature from a sample of the signal, wherein the local feature indicates a probability that a human in the FOV caused the change in the detected levels, extracting a global feature from the sample of the signal, wherein the global feature indicates a probability that an environmental radiation source caused the change in the detected levels, determining a score based on the local feature and the global feature, and determining that a human motion has been detected in the FOV based on the score.

Motion detectors can include a housing defining a first cavity and an aperture extending through the housing. A circuit board can be disposed in the first cavity. An infrared sensor and a light sensor can be mounted on the circuit board. A lens can extend across the aperture. A wall can extend between the lens and the circuit board such that the wall, the lens, and the circuit board define a second cavity at least partially within the first cavity and the second cavity contains the infrared sensor and the light sensor.
